Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. An image synthesizing apparatus comprising: an image extracting section which extracts plural images of different sizes from a single image as an original image; an image zooming section which zooms up said plural images of different sizes extracted by said image extracting section to a same size as a size of said original image; and a moving image generating section which synthesizes said plural images zoomed up by said image zooming section to generate a moving image.
2. The image synthesizing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising: an imaging section which images a subject to be imaged; a recording section which records an image of said subject imaged by said imaging section as image data; and an information memory section where information on extraction sizes is stored.
3. The image synthesizing apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising: a data transmission- and reception section which wirelessly transmits and receives voices and data; and a display section which displays said image of said subject imaged by said imaging section.
4. The image synthesizing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said image zooming section performs image zooming based on a rectangle zooming algorithm, and selects one pixel from pixels constituting an image before zooming and copies a value of that pixel.
5. The image synthesizing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein said original image is an image before imaging is done by said imaging section.
6. The image synthesizing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said image extracting section can arbitrarily set a center position of an image to be extracted from said original image.
7. The image synthesizing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said moving image generating section generates a moving image by changing sizes of plural images to be synthesized.
8. The image synthesizing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said moving image generating section reduces an amount of data by compressing a generated moving image.
9. The image synthesizing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said image synthesizing apparatus is an imaging apparatus or a portable telephone terminal.
10. An image synthesizing method comprising: an image extracting step which extracts plural images of different sizes from a single image as an original image; an image zooming step which zooms up said plural images of different sizes extracted in said image extracting step to a same size as a size of said original image; and a moving image generating step which synthesizes said plural images zoomed up in said image zooming step to generate a moving image.
11. The image synthesizing method according to claim 10 , wherein said image extracting step can arbitrarily set a center position of an image to be extracted from said original image.
12. The image synthesizing method according to claim 10 , wherein said moving image generating step generates a moving image by changing sizes of plural images to be synthesized.
13. The image synthesizing method according to claim 10 , wherein said moving image generating step reduces an amount of data by compressing a generated moving image.
14. A computer readable recording medium having recorded a program for allowing a computer to execute: an image extracting step which extracts plural images of different sizes from a single image as an original image; an image zooming step which zooms up said plural images of different sizes extracted in said image extracting step to a same size as a size of said original image; and a moving image generating step which synthesizes said plural images zoomed up in said image zooming step to generate a moving image.
15. The recording medium according to claim 14 , wherein said image extracting step can arbitrarily set a center position of an image to be extracted from said original image.
16. The recording medium according to claim 14 , wherein said moving image generating step generates a moving image by changing sizes of plural images to be synthesized.
17. The recording medium according to claim 14 , wherein said moving image generating step reduces an amount of data by compressing a generated moving image.
